Route Branding Drawback
When Stagecoach in South Wales's Cwmbran depot received the 15 Alexander Dennis E30Ds to "gold" specification last winter, most of the 60-plate Enviro300s transferred to other depots - Porth received nine and Blackwood three, whilst only two remained at Cwmbran.
Those at Porth have found a home on Service 132 (Maerdy-Ferndale-Porth-Pontypridd-Treforest-Cardiff), which is also due to receive the "gold" treatment in the next few months. 27692 has even received route branding for the service. However, despite this, she has become rather nomadic of late, turning up at Aberdare, Merthyr Tydfil and Blackwood depots,
This early October 2016 shot of her was taken as she reverses off stand at Newport's Market Square when operating for Blackwood on Service 50 (Newport-Caerphilly-Ystrad Mynach-Bargoed). Bringing up the rear is Alexander Dennis E20D 37170, which is one of three to receive branding for interworked Services 50 and 56 last year.
